causes pain solely by activating a receptor called TRPA1 on sensory nerves. The receptor is one of a group of transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels in sensory nerves under the skin ...

“The receptors that sense temperature also mediate transduction of pain signals, such as noxious heat,” Qin ... These are cutaneous receptors, located at the endings of peripheral nerves in the skin.

They've focused particularly on TRPV1, a receptor found at the endings of peripheral nerves in the skin that's integral to ...

Researchers found that a pain receptor called TRPA1 becomes ... In humans, this receptor can induce eye and skin irritation. In mosquitoes, it influences which hosts the insects find most alluring ...

Specialized pain receptors called nociceptors can be found at the end of the nerves on your skin, muscles, joints and internal organs. Each nociceptor is designed to activate its nerve if it ...

This damage is registered by nociceptors, microscopic pain receptors in the skin. Each pain receptor is present at one end of a nerve cell or neuron and is connected to the other end in the spinal ...

They’ve focused particularly on TRPV1, a receptor found at the endings of peripheral nerves in the skin that’s integral to detecting temperature and pain, and also responds to capsaicin, the component ...
